Fedora 27: Glibc Security Update 2018-1cbdc8cbb8 Critical Memory Fix

This update fixes two minor security vulnerabilities in `malloc` (CVE-2018-6485, CVE-2018-6551, RHBZ#1542102, RHBZ#1542119), and provides a C++ version of `iseqsig`.. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2018-1cbdc8cbb8 2018-03-06 17:17:51.858805 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Name : glibc Product : Fedora 27 Version : 2.26 Release : 26.fc27 URL : https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ Summary : The GNU libc libraries Description : The glibc package contains standard libraries which are used by multiple programs on the system. In order to save disk space and memory, as well as to make upgrading easier, common system code is kept in one place and shared between programs. This particular package contains the most important sets of shared libraries: the standard C library and the standard math library. Without these two libraries, a Linux system will not function. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Update Information: This update fixes two minor security vulnerabilities in `malloc` (CVE-2018-6485, CVE-2018-6551, RHBZ#1542102, RHBZ#1542119), and provides a C++ version of `iseqsig`. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------References: [ 1 ] Bug #1542102 - CVE-2018-6485 glibc: Integer overflow in posix_memalign in memalign functions https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1542102 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------This update can be installed with the "dnf" update program. Use su -c 'dnf upgrade glibc' at the command line. For more information, refer to the dnf documentation available at https://dnf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/command_ref.html All packages are signed with the Fedora Project GPG key.

Scientific Linux SL5.x Moderate: CVE-2012-1601 kvm Crash Threat

Moderate: kvm security and bug fix update. Date: Tue, 22 May 2012 09:55:52 -0500 Reply-To: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. Sender: Security Errata for Scientific Linux From: Patrick Riehecky Subject: Security ERRATA Moderate: kvm on SL5.x x86_64 Comments: To: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. Synopsis: Moderate: kvm security and bug fix update Issue Date: 2012-05-21 CVE Numbers: CVE-2012-1601 CVE-2012-2121 KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for Linux on AMD64 and Intel 64 systems. KVM is a Linux kernel module built for the standard Scientific Linux kernel. A flaw was found in the way the KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP ioctl was handled. Calling this ioctl when at least one virtual CPU (VCPU) already existed could lead to a NULL pointer dereference later when the VCPU is scheduled to run. A malicious user in the kvm group on the host could use this flaw to crash the host. (CVE-2012-1601) A flaw was found in the way device memory was handled during guest device removal. Upon successful device removal, memory used by the device was not properly unmapped from the corresponding IOMMU or properly released from the kernel, leading to a memory leak. A malicious user in the kvm group on the host who has the ability to assign a device to a guest could use this flaw to crash the host. (CVE-2012-2121) This update also fixes the following bug: * An off-by-one error in the QEMU guest's memory management could, in rare cases, cause QEMU-KVM to crash due to a segmentation fault in tb_invalidate_phys_page_range() if a device initiated DMA into a specific guest address. In a reported case, this issue presented on a system that had a guest using the 8139cp network driver. All users of kvm are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. Note that the procedure in the Solution section must be performed before this update will take effect.
